JESUS was GAY - according to the gospel of SIR ELTON JOHN. The singer makes his controversial claim about the Lord in a new US interview that will enrage America's bible belt.
Elton, 62, declares as he pours out his heart to a magazine: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems."
He adds: "Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you're as good as dead."
He goes on in the same interview to describe how he and DAVID FURNISH, 47 - now his "husband" - first got together.
The pop veteran tells Parade magazine: "I was attracted to David immediately. He was very well dressed, very shy. The next night we had dinner.
"After it, we fell in love very quickly."
He said of previous lovers: "I'd always choose someone younger. I wanted to smother them with love. I'd take them around the world, try to educate them.
"One after another they got a Cartier watch, a Versace outfit, maybe a sports car.
"They didn't have jobs. They were reliant on me.
"In six months they were bored and hated my guts because I'd taken their lives and self-worth away. I hadn't intended to."

John the Baptist was not married--we have zero proof that Jesus was married. Scriptures reveal that Jesus is coming back for his bride--The Church--that is, all who believe and revere Him.
The Middle East has dozens of cultures. You are over-simplifying to try to make a complex reality fit your agenda.
This creep must have VD affecting his brain
Remember what John Lennon said about Jesus Christ, and look where John Lennon is today. Why does anyone give these bozos like Elton John the forum to spew this stuff?
Jesus was thought by many histoians to be an Ebonite or Nazorite, which would’ve meant marriage, and Essenes did marry. A single rabbi, prophet or messiah would’ve been an impossibility in first century Judaism, as I understand it.
What “agenda”?
Tell me which Middle Eastern cultures in which it’s OK for a man to kiss a woman he is not married to or related to.
No, but one day he will.
Where is John the Baptist’s marital status (or our Lord’s) discussed in the Bible?
IOW, there is NO truth behind the DaVinci Code--altho many might view it as good fiction.
Leviticus 18;22 sites homosexuality as an abomination. Pretty severe rebuke and God is not 'Progressive' in His tenets.
You’re the one pointing out that Jesus only kissed men.
If we’re talking about agenda here, what’s YOURS?
I sure wouldn’t want to be in the same room with him when the lightening bolt strikes....
Proof that homosexuality is not just a psychological dysfunction, it is a spiritual sickness.
He wasn’t married
God is not a hypocrite!!
Jesus may forgive the old drag queen, but I sure don’t.
The scriptures also say that stars will fall from the skies and crash to Earth (Rev 6:13), a physical impossibility as even the tiniest star dwarfs the earth. Sometimes, the scriptures play loosey-goosey with the facts. Just saying.
Any and all.
